It's over..

Re: It's over..

Yea Sony isn't any better. My PS1 laser broke and the PS2 I have now is my 4th or 5th. Already hearing problems with PS3 that's why I'm not buying a launch one. My Xbox is getting a bit chuggy ocasionally but still works fine overall and haven't had a 360 problem yet. Never had a problem with a Nintendo product and I've thrown a Gameboy into a wall without a scratch on it and the wall was more damaged than the Gameboy.

Sadly it seems that Nintendo is the only one that tests the crap out of their systems.

Sony and MS should be disapointed with how many XBoxes and Playstations go bad. That's the downside of this industry. The 360 is the start. If people think Sony will be better, think again. They did after all get sued and had to settle a suit that showed they were at fault for faulty DVD drives in their PS2s.

The PS3 won't be any different than the 360 is now. It's how it is, sadly.

Being first to buy the new toys always has a risk.
If my system went bad on me, i'd be mad too. At the same time I know the risks. People that go onto message boards and read about the technology are educated on this and they do know the risks. It's just crappy when a systems craps out and it happens too yours.

Great post. I've certainly learned my lesson from this whole fiasco. My 360 is at the repair center in Texas as we speak. This will indeed be the very last time I buy a console at launch.

Re: It's over..

There's WAY too many of these threads. My PS2 and Xbox both eventually died, but my god, this console has been out a Month and thread after thread about consoles dieing is troubling.

Even for a launch this whole thing seemed so rushed from hardware and software standpoint.

Yep. It's appalling. Like I said, shame on you MS.

We are living in the era of lets get it out the door and will fix it/patch it later. Just look across all consumer platforms - from patches, to firmware, to updates. It's the way business is done now.
